Thanks Black Beard!
Thanks Black Beard!
6.0gns of Unique with a 240gn RNFP, is pretty much the standard .44 load in our club. It's .44spl data in a magnum case. No issues. A recipe I started with 30 years ago for a accurate revolver load and it transferred over to carbines just as well.
With jacketed take it up to 6.5gns.
the above is just what i use in my taurus ,lovely jubbly

I would do yourself 25 rounds. You can't get a good impression from one group, IMO.

Back in pistol days I used to load 11.0 of Unique behind 240 grain bullets, whether JHP or gaschecked Keith type, in my old Ruger Blackhawk. It wasn't the severest load I used, but it was sharp enough not to want heavier if you were firing a few cylinders of 'em. It'd throw bowling pins hard against the backstop, and few of them would survive more than 3 hits or so. Anything more tended to work the action screws loose, even after loctiting them...
I really liked Unique. It worked for me in everything from .32 ACP to .577 Snider.
